What is the reason for the differences in mental and physical 
abilities/capacities between people who have the same form of Down 
Syndrome, e.g. nephew with translocation t(21;14)? Their grandma and 
both fathers (sons of their grandma) are carrier of Down's Syndrome.
Thus, they have the same 'mistake' in genotype.
Waiting for reply,
 greetings and thanks!
